Mortal Mirror

Li Ergou felt a surge of joy in his heart. His Nether Tendon was now considered a minor success, and he only needed to collect and refine more tendons in the future.

At this moment, it was perfect timing to cultivate the Avatar Technique. He was really looking forward to this technique and wanted to see how powerful it was.

With that thought, he began to cultivate.

He didn't expect that this technique wasn't difficult to master. He only needed to condense all his magical power and supplement it with a powerful divine sense.

Three days later, Li Ergou opened his eyes. Behind him, an azure serpent avatar, about ten feet long, manifested. However, the azure serpent's figure was somewhat blurry at the moment, looking like a faint green shadow from a distance.

Li Ergou's divine sense moved, and the azure serpent shadow lashed out at a boulder behind him with a whoosh. With a loud bang, the ten-foot-sized blue stone was shattered into several pieces by the force of the blow.

Although the power wasn't very great, Li Ergou was very satisfied. After all, it had only been a few days, and it was already excellent to have such an effect. Cultivation was not something that could be achieved overnight. As long as he cultivated slowly, soaring to the sky like a dragon was just around the corner.

After these few days of cultivation, Li Ergou's cultivation, whether in martial arts or divine arts, had reached the peak of the second realm. With one more step, or rather, just a little bit more, he could break through to the third realm. However, that little bit was the most difficult part. What he needed was an opportunity.

He had been in this Yellow Maple Valley for several days and didn't know what the situation was like outside. It was time to leave.

As for refining the dragon scales, he didn't know how long it would take and could only do it little by little. However, he felt that the dragon scales were strange. Until now, he didn't know how he got out of the dragon scale space.

He even suspected whether he had entered the dragon scale space at all, or if everything was like a nightmare.

Everything was a mystery. Now he didn't have much time to study this matter and could only talk about it later.

He rode Dog Strong out of Yellow Maple Valley. Along the way, he saw many people hunting down demonized beasts. These demonized beasts had large bodies and great strength, but they didn't know any demon arts, so they were just ordinary demon beasts. No matter how powerful they were, they couldn't withstand the siege of cultivators.

After these days of slaughter, the number of demon beasts was rapidly decreasing.

At the meteorite fall site, Situ Qianxing led a group of big shots, looking at the scene in front of them with puzzled expressions. Yes, Situ Qianxing had woken up. Just when Li Ergou took away the dragon scales, he inexplicably recovered.

No one knew what was going on. When someone reported that the meteorite was gone, everyone understood, so Situ Qianxing brought people over.

They saw the outer shell of the meteorite and sighed at who took the things inside the stone, and what was inside the stone.

Unfortunately, no one saw it, and this matter became an unsolved case.

This matter was of great importance, and Situ Qianxing had no choice but to ask the county lieutenant to get some people to protect the scene so that he could return to the state capital and report the matter here.

Thus, Situ Qianxing left and never returned. Before long, these meteorite fragments were all moved away by some busybodies, and all traces disappeared.

Li Ergou returned to Orange Mountain. Dabaixiang and the others had all recovered after these few days of recuperation and had gone to the yamen to work. Now the yamen was sending people out to hunt down demon beasts every day, and there was a great shortage of manpower.

Mei'er was extremely happy to see Li Ergou return, as was Jing'er. Perhaps no one on Orange Mountain was more idle than them.

Now their egg shop had no eggs to sell and had become a temporary place to collect demon beast tendons.

Mei'er saw Li Ergou and immediately asked, "Young Master, we have no more eggs. What are we going to do in the future?"

Jing'er also came over and said, "Yes, it's not just the eggs. The chickens suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Fish City this time. Now we only have more than six hundred chickens in total."

Li Ergou was slightly surprised and didn't expect that the last incident had caused so many chickens to be lost. He couldn't help but feel a little heartache.

But on second thought, it was also a problem to feed so many big chickens after the demon disaster. It was good that some died. Even with these chickens, he didn't know how to deal with them.

He still had a lot of demon beasts on hand, but the demon beasts would eventually be eaten up. Think about those chickens, each one was huge, and the daily consumption was an astronomical figure.

He told the two girls his thoughts. After Jing'er and Mei'er heard it, they also felt that this was a big problem. The two of them had never thought about this before.

As for the eggs, it was easy to get them. At worst, he would re-cultivate some chickens. With the bronze mirror, these were all small problems.

Now he was not short of money. The silver in the bronze mirror was almost piled up into a small mountain and could last for a long time. He wondered if he should buy an even bigger mountain.

But he quickly gave up this idea. Orange Mountain was very good, and he liked it very much. He would wait until this demon disaster was completely over before thinking about this matter.

After a few people discussed the next steps for Orange Mountain, Li Ergou took the two girls to check on his White Feather Tricolor Chicken. When they came to the place specially set aside for the Tricolor Chicken, Li Ergou was dumbfounded.

The original Tricolor Chicken had not grown at all during these days and was as thin as a stick, looking like it was about to die.

The copied chicks, however, had grown to the size of normal chickens. These little guys were very lively, with bright eyes. Their wings were snow-white, and the feathers on their bodies were mixed with three colors: red, green, and yellow.

This thing was colorful and surprisingly pretty.

Mei'er immediately said, "Young Master, you asked me to feed it carefully. I tried it, but the small Tricolor Chicken didn't eat anything, at most it ate a few mouthfuls of grass with dew on it.

This big one is different. It doesn't eat vegetables, it only likes to eat the flesh and blood of demon beasts, and it also likes to eat spiritual herbs. It grows very fast, but it costs too much money.

When these demon beast meats are used up, I don't know what to feed it."

Li Ergou said indifferently, "It doesn't matter. This is the first generation chicken, it's a bit delicate. I still have a lot of demon beast meat here, enough for it to eat for a while.

We only have this little hen, no rooster. When it grows up, I'll see if I can cultivate a new second-generation chicken. Maybe it will be better then."

Then he looked at the original chick and sighed, "This little guy doesn't look like it will survive. Bai Su said that this thing is delicate and there's no way to do it. Let's just give it a humane destruction and let it suffer less."

With that thought, he didn't think much about it and pointed at the original chick. A ray of light flashed, and the original chicken instantly vanished into ashes, not even leaving any residue.

The copied chicken saw this scene, a look of fear flashed in its eyes. It glanced at Li Ergou, hurriedly ran to the demon beast corpse, and ate the flesh and blood vigorously, as if to calm its nerves, or as if to say to Li Ergou, I'm easy to raise, I eat, I eat, I eat eat eat.

Li Ergou naturally didn't know what the Tricolor Chicken was thinking. He looked at Jing'er and said, "Let's go, let's go see my White Scale Fish again. I don't know how many survived."
